Older kit repackaged Doug, but still quite a good kit and a great choice. I have built a over the years and had no fit issues or anything of concern - typical Tamiya - so you will have fun with this one.

Yeah, after the over 1/2 hour wait just to get in I was only there an hour or so. I am car-less at the moment and got a lift in with Wayne and his son. They had to be elsewhere that afternoon, so we kind of had to breeze through.

Not buying another car until late next year as I am taking 6 months off to travel Europe with the wife, and it is silly to have 2 cars just sitting in the garage for that long. QMHE was a bit far to cycle to, so thumb was out for the hitch

Hello. Can't wait for starting this campaign. Today the tires for MAX came in from BNA Australia. Love the detail from Panzer Art.

Also the Jerrycans came in. Will post them later together with the Box art and contents of the big kit. Reading about the MAX kit from AFV Club on PMMS I found out the Jerrycans from the kit are a little of scale, to small. Panzer Art tires are Firestone Ballon with the right thread and they are massive.

Okay so according to Italian Wikipedia Tenente Emmanuele Annoni shot down a Hurricane on November 26, 1941 somewhere between Sidi Rezegh and Gambut. Then on December 1, 1941 a P40 of 250 sqdn around Bir el Gobi. So that's right in the thick of it.

I was gearing up for this Folgore with aftermarket and decals anyway so this campaign is fortuitous.

It has been a long time since I joined any campaigns here, partly due to health problems, but when I saw this one I just had to enlist. I am presently modelling Western Desert vehicles and this campaign fits perfectly with my build schedule. I have just finished building an A10 using a Plastic Soldier Company kit as a basis...

I will be building an S-Model A13 with Dan Taylor's Modelworks upgrades for this campaign and probably a heavily modified S-Model PzIIIG, with OKB sprockets, idlers and track. Really looking forward to this and making new modelling friends.
